✅ Correct Answer: C
The Financial Technology Sandbox was legally created to foster digital innovation without exposing the broader financial system to untested technological risks.
Statement 1 is correct.
Entities accepted into the sandbox are granted a Limited Use Authorization.
This legal mechanism provides specific regulatory exemptions, allowing the firm to deploy its software or service to a limited cohort of live customers for up to 12 months, thereby validating the business model safely.
Statement 2 is also correct.
Many modern innovations, such as digital lending linked to insurance products, cross traditional regulatory boundaries.
The Inter-Operable Regulatory Sandbox mechanism allows innovators to test these hybrid products seamlessly within the centre, coordinating the necessary regulatory oversight simultaneously across the banking, capital markets, and insurance sectors.
